Younger and need advice on discussing my gender confusion to my loved ones.

[invalidusername]

Hi. I don't have the time to write a novel here, so I will just discuss my confusion briefly. Ever since I was about 12, I had this urge to be a girl. I try to hide it from most people, but the urge just keeps building and building. I am about ready to tell my parents, but I don't know how they will take it. I am afraid they will make fun of me. I hopefully at one point would like to get surgery before I turn 18. What is the best way to release the news to my parents? I really want to get this solved, mabye take some testoratone?

Thanks.

Hi invalidusername,

Welcome to our little family. Over 8603 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.

Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams.  Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.

But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another sister.

You may want to look at a PFLAG website.  They generally have info for parents.

Yes,

  Get this resolved one way or the other while you are young!  Judging by your post, you are under 18.  A qualified therapist will help you here.  Your local PFLAG chapter will help you and your parents here from their list of therapists.

Welcome, invalidusername. I'm a little confused by your post, but it's early in the morning and maybe I'm just not awake yet. If you've wanted to be a girl, that suggests you were born with a male body? In which case last thing you want is more testosterone (which will masculinise you).

[invalidusername]

Yes, you are right. I was born with a male body, and I did not reliaze testastorone would masculanize me. I am trying to feminize myself. And yes I am young.
